Rush Village is quite well stocked with pubs, and I attempted to do them in order from the train station out to the Harbour - but the first pub was, or at least seemed to be, inexplicably closed when I visited. So the second pub became the first, and the first became the last - it was definitely open later.
The second first pub ended up being The Drop Inn, a pub connected to one of my previously visited pubs, which was also first of a trip by virtue of the closer pub opening later - DG0493 The Coast Inn in Skerries. However, the Drop Inn is a smaller pub, with quite a small and cosy front bar being where I had my pint.
This was a very traditional instance of an outer suburban or provincial town bar on a weekday daytime, with a reasonable crowd of regulars watching the racing, and a fairly limited selection of drinks on offer; being quite like the pubs I've written about drinking in in Tullamore or Dungloe in that regard; and at 5.50 a pint; probably not far off what Tullamore at least would be charging these days.
